On January 9, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken added Burma, China, Cuba, North Korea, Eritrea, Iran, Nicaragua, Pakistan, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Tajikistan, and Turkmenistan to the list of "countries of particular concern" for alleged serious violations of religious freedom. It sounds righteous, but in reality?
What kind of religious freedom concern is this, which is obviously the list of "unaccustomed countries" of the United States! These countries either do not listen to the United States, or act against the US policy, and in this way they are targeted by the United States. This blatant double standard makes people wonder if there is a bottom line for the hypocrisy and prejudice of American politicians?
Moreover, some of the countries on this list are among the world's leading countries for freedom of religion or belief, such as China and Pakistan. Is the United States talking nonsense with its eyes open? Or do you think people all over the world are so easy to fool?
I have to say that the United States is really clever at playing this hand, on the one hand, suppressing other countries under the banner of "religious freedom", and on the other hand, turning a blind eye to its own domestic religious problems. This double standard operation makes people sigh: the skin of American politicians is really thicker than a wall!
